Diabetes mellitus and Glycosuria???

[biocupid]

Can anyone tell me what are the differences between both of them? Or are they just the same

Glycosuria is one of the symptoms in case of Diabetes. Diabetes refers to the whole condition caused by insufficient insuline secretion (or the secretion of inactive insuline).
The symptomes are:
-polyuria - excretion of huge amounts of urine
-polydipsia - excessive thirst
-polyphagia - excessive hunger
-glycosuria - excretion of glucose i the urine. Normally, if the blood sugar levels are normal, in the urine we cannot find glucose. Glycosuria appears when the concentration of glucose in the blood is too big and it is necesary to eliminate it somehow., so it appears in urine.

Gycosuria is the pressence of glucose in the urea....but the cause of this symptom is the hypoglycaemia which is the lack of glucose in the body and causes the cells and the brain thrist of glucose.This is because glucose is the main respiration substract for cells and the only respiration substract for brain. Can dark_angel give me the relationship between diabetes and glycosuria?

[dark_angel]

Well, in diabetes the lack of insulin leads to a high glucose concentration in the blood. Thus, excessive glucose is eliminated through urine.

[Darby]

Glucose is never treated as a waste material - what happens is that the pumps that return glucose to the blood in kidney tubules (it goes through the filters and has to be reabsorbed) are overwhelmed if there is too much, and they can't get it all back.

It's absolutely amazing how much misinformation there is about the basic details of diabetes.

This is something I didn`t know. Thanks!

the presence of glucose in the urine is a result of hyperglycaemia - not hypoglycaemia!...
